What the echo can do

Amazon Echo voice assistant provides a huge range of features simply by requesting them with simple voice commands. It provides you with instant access to news, information, music, radio, as well as allowing you to manage your calendar, reminders, alarms and shopping and to do lists. When combined with smart home equipment, you can also control many aspects of your home including your lighting, heating, television, security systems and more.

Far field voice recognition

Amazon Echo contains an array of seven microphones that use beam-forming technology and enhanced noise cancellation. This allows the device to recognise voice commands from anywhere in a room, as well as at a good distance. It also blocks out most background noise and can focus on the voice command. In the 2nd generation Echo this technology has been developed even further to provide an improved wake word performance even in noisy environments and when music is playing at high volumes.

Complete music control

Amazon Echo can provide you with a fantastic hands free music experience. You can simply request any song, album, artist or even just ask for a song by the lyrics, and it will be played by Alexa instantly. To increase your music access, you can connect your device to music streaming services like Amazon music unlimited or Spotify to ensure you have a huge library of up to 40 million songs. Multiple echo devices can combine into a whole home audio system, so you can request music in any room, or group of rooms from any device.

Combine with your smart home

Amazon Alexa links up with a wide range of third party smart home devices allowing you to control multiple aspects of your home by voice command. These include:

Control your security system and appliances – With connected devices through IFTTT

Control your TV – With the harmony hub.

Communication made simple

The Amazon Echo devices can be used to communicate between each other, no matter where they are. This enables you to use your devices in separate rooms, acting like a home intercom. Or contact friends and relatives who also own echo devices, and speak to them hands free and without charge.

Constantly getting smarter

The Amazon Alexa voice assistant is cloud connected, allowing Amazon to regularly update and improve the assistant’s capabilities and reliability.
